About Enterin Inc.
Enterin Inc. is the first company to develop novel compounds that repair the dysfunctional gut-brain axis in patients with neurodegenerative diseases. Enterin Inc. is pioneering the medical community’s understanding of the link between infections, dysfunction of the ENS and the onset and progression of neurodegenerative disease. Enterin’s lead compound, ENT-01, displaces membrane-bound αS aggregates from nerve cells in the ENS and improves neural signaling between the gut and the brain. The second compound, ENT-03, increases insulin sensitivity by acting at the level of the brain and acutely normalizes blood sugar in diabetic mice. ENT-03 is being developed for the treatment of diabetes, obesity, and Alzheimer’s disease. Studies in humans will begin in Q1 2023.
